Bailey's One Year Birthday...2 month's ago!

So I'm a little behind on my blog...go figure! We celebrated Bailey's first birthday with two parties. One here in TX on her official day with a few friends. Bo's mom also flew in for her birthday since they were going to be in Chicago for her Louisiana party. I was surprised at how non-messy Bailey was with her cake at both parties. What a sweet little girlie! She had fun opening her presents and playing with her friends and cousins. I am still amazed everyday at how much time has flown and how much she has grown. (and walking at her parties!! yeehaw!)

WALKING!

Today when I picked up Bailey at "Miss Brandi's", she said she had been walking all over the place! I was so excited because for the past couple of days I kept saying I think she is about to really take off. When we got home I took out the video camera to catch her in action and caught a few good videos. I am so excited that she will probably be walking around at her first birthday party. GEAUX, BAILEY CATHERINE! (and Mommy loves being right with her prediction of 11 months old!..ok, a few days shy of 12 months, but STILL 11!)

First Monday Visit with Grandparents

Bo's parents came to visit First Monday weekend, and Bailey had a ton of fun while they were here. They brought her a new rocking horse that neighs and makes galloping noises which she loves, and a new tricycle that she rides on around the house. She can't quite reach the pedals yet, but she holds on while I push her from one end of the house to another. It's a good thing we have a long hallway...it's great for tricycles! We went shopping for a winter coat and out to eat at Texas Land and Cattle which brought back memories of bringing Bailey there when she was only about 6 weeks old. Time has really flown by. Lastly we went to First Monday Trade Days in Canton (Mommy's favorite!) and enjoyed the beautiful weather! Bailey is a pro in Canton...I think she has already been 4 or 5 times in her short little life.

These are a few of my favorite pics from that weekend.

Rebels and Tigers and Gators, Oh my!

Just like my daddy!

My FAVORITE!

This one's for you, Meemaw! (I still secretly cheer for the Gators...don't tell Mommy!)

A Walk in the Park

Bailey has been taking more and more steps by herself, so she got some new shoes today to be able to walk around outside because we think she is only a few days away from walking more independently. I had predicted by 11 months, but she is now 11 months 6 days old. She walked for a long time across the park while holding on to Mama's and Daddy's hands. We had such a great time hanging around the park taking pics and playing on the playground.

Happy Fall Y'all!

Bailey visited the Pumpkin Patch and picked out two pumpkins. She's not going trick-or-treating this year, so we just decided to take a few fall pics instead of pics in a costume. She is my little pumpkin (I sure felt like she was one last year at this time!).

State Fair of Texas

Bo's brother Chris and his family came to visit this weekend, and we were able to take the kids to the State Fair of Texas. Everyone had a great time once we got there (nightmare trying to get there on the DART), and Bailey did such a great job of hanging out all day long. She's such a little trooper.
